Constraint properties updating across component instances

My constraint properties aren’t updating across my component instances after I edit the parent component. I’ve ensured that my instances are inside their respective frames.
Is there something I’m doing wrong or is this something to do with an update? I would love it if the constraint properties applied to the child components when I edit the parent!

Hey @Maddy_Sabulis, Thanks for getting in touch about this. I totally get how helpful it would be to edit the main component constrains and have those changes reflected in the instances.

I tested it out on my end and observed the same behavior you mentioned. I’m not certain if this is intentional or if it resulted from an update, so I’ll be reaching out to our internal team.

I’ll keep you posted once I have more information.

Thanks once again for reaching out!
